Came for a weekday lunch, 3 of us and got seated right away no problem. Love the special options on the menu, so many interesting things to try! The koong karee (prawn curry) and har mok seafood were my favorite. Special mention for the khao soi too! Big portions and took home enough for another meal. Prices are a little higher than the usual Thai joint but it's worth it.

My sister and I came here after the gym to spend some quality time together since we hadn't seen…read moreeach other in a while. I wanted to treat her to brunch and chose this popular Americanized Thai brunch spot. I knew it had a good reputation in the neighborhood, and the packed dining room confirmed that it's a popular destination. We were seated immediately, which was a great start. To begin, we ordered the enoki mushrooms and calamari. The mushrooms weren't quite what I expected, and they had a flavor that reminded me of oil that may have also been used to fry seafood. The calamari was decent but could have benefited from more seasoning. For my entrée, I ordered the Fried Chicken Benedict. Unfortunately, it was the weakest part of the meal. The fried chicken was very underseasoned and lacked flavor. When I cut into the poached eggs, excess water ran onto the plate, which diluted the hollandaise sauce and left the dish tasting a bit watered down. That said, not everything was a miss. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Most importantly, my sister really enjoyed her meal and said she would definitely come back. While my food didn't fully meet expectations, the strong service, pleasant vibe, and my sister's positive experience were enough for me to give this place another chance. I'd be interested in returning to try their lunch or dinner menu before making a final judgment. Overall, the food was hit-or-miss for me, but the service and atmosphere left a positive impression and make me willing to come back and explore more of the menu.

Some tables get iPads to order, others paper menus to mark off and submit--not sure if there's a method to which table gets what. iPad ordering makes things really easy, especially if you decide to order more food. Food rolls out SUPER quickly if you get here around opening. I love this place for their flavorful, consistently delicious food. Must-get dishes include the baked custard buns, shrimp rice rolls, siu mai, and salted egg fried pumpkin.

Despite that, the restaurant ignored our request, brought the dish after we had already finished eating, and then insisted that we pay for it. To make matters worse, the manager was rude and told us not to come back if we refused to pay for an item we had repeatedly asked to cancel. The lack of communication, poor customer service, and unprofessional attitude made this one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We will not be returning.

After passing by Genghix Asian Fusion for years, my wife finally suggested we give it a try--and…read moreI'm glad we did. Four of us went for dinner and had a great experience. The interior has that classic, old-school Asian restaurant vibe, almost bordering on a tiki bar feel. I'd heard about Genghix from locals for a long time, and now I understand the appeal. We started with the chicken lettuce cups and seared butterfish--both were excellent, and our 11-year-old especially loved the lettuce cups. For entrées, we ordered seafood Pad Thai, chicken fried rice, honey walnut prawns, Mongolian chicken, and steamed rice. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and easily held its own against some of our go-to spots. We had plenty of leftovers and they tasted great for lunch the next day. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal, and we're already planning to go back and explore more of the menu. It's extensive and can feel a bit overwhelming, but if you're in the mood for Japanese, Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese cuisine, you'll definitely find something that hits the spot.

This spot is a little hidden, but once you go inside, it is its own little oasis. Small and intimate, you know the dishes are made fresh. We enjoyed the tissue bread (10/10), seared rice cake (8/10), oxtail (10/10), and more that isn't pictured. I think this is a great celebratory dinner spot. I'd love to come back to try more seasonal specials.

However, after 6:30 PM, especially on weekends, it becomes difficult to find seating, so I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. We ordered our usual, Focaccia bread and the beetroot salad, which, as always, were absolutely 10/10. This time, we also tried the Madras coconut curry with vegetables. It wasn't overly sweet and had just the right amount of spice, which we really loved. The vegetables were perfectly cooked with a nice crunch. For dessert, we had the Lebane mousse, which was delicious and a perfect way to end the meal. Customer service is always attentive, friendly, and personalized, which makes the dining experience even more enjoyable.

When I paid for the order, I was informed an order of egg rolls is free with a $30+ order (it's a current promo they're running)-- so I got ALL of that food for $40! The egg flower soup was nicely seasoned (not too bland, not too salty- just perfect) and had a great ratio of egg ribbons and veggies. Beef chow fun had tender generous portion of beef and great flavor. Egg rolls were typical- crispy and delicious. Sesame chicken/ fried rice was good, but my only tiny critique is I wish the chicken helping was bigger and the rice helping smaller. But hey, I ain't mad at it! Definitely will come back next time I'm in the area.

Their portions are bigger than I expected, worth it! This is a fun spot to hangout with friends to grab a bite to eat and to watch a spots game or listen to and watch some Kpop MVs. The service is friendly and attentive, I came on a weekend lunch - dine in wasn't too busy, lucky me but I definitely noticed a lot of to go orders.

SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service could use improvement. The server was not attentive and dismissive to my simple attempt to check on our order of steamed rice since our food was coming out at varying times. He had also stated he would come back to take drink orders, but never followed up. Their indoor decor is appropriate and appealing. They have indoor seating only. PARKING: Located in a shopping plaza, they have plenty of parking. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: We ordered a few of their skewers, all of which were just pretty average and lacked flavor and smokiness. Their garlic fries were simply topped with garlic, but not well dispersed throughout while the bbq beef ribs had barely any meat. The grilled oysters sadly also lacked flavor. Overall, with the subpar service and food, we won't be back.

Both were so good, but my tonkatsu ramen completely stole the show. This might be the best one I've ever had, and I've had a lot. The broth was rich, and the meat was so flavorful, and just so satisfying. I was already planning my next visit before I even finished my bowl. That's how you know it's good. They have so many items on the menu and everything looked delicious. I really want to try something new next time, but honestly I might just order the tonkatsu ramen again. No regrets.

This place has to have the worst parking. I hate that we have limited parking part reserve to a…read moreliquor store, and part for a bar next door, and absolutely limited street parking. The frustration in driving in a circle. The ambiance of the restaurant is basically a Hong Kong Cafe style. There are two areas catering small parties to big parties. The lighting is terrible though, the florescent lighting is just not for me. The food here is pretty good. They have a huge selection. Hayward doesn't have a lot of Asian catering restaurants that are cheap eats. Yeah, they opened a new banquet, but not a lot of fast, cheap foods. 1. Pork Congee with Thousand Year Old Egg - Typically very flavorful. I like to come grab a bowl when I'm not feeling well to cook. 2. Honey Walnut Shrimp - How can you go wrong? Such a western staple. 3. Pork Chow Fun - Large portion, reasonably priced, tasty enough. 4. Salt & Pepper Fish Fillet - Surprisingly one of my favorite things on the menu. Sharable portions, enough for maybe 2-4 people. 5. Salt & Pepper Prawns - Typically I would say standard, but I don't believe I enjoyed the prawns as much. 6. Mongolian Beef - Standard, soft, best with rice. 7. Salt & Pepper Pork Chops - I could live without this. 8. Combo Pan Fried Noodles - I love me a crispy noodle with gravy I can pour over because it leaves a good texture. 9. Chicken Fried Rice - Standard, sharable 10. Beef Brisket Noodle Soup - Tasty, boyfriend's favorite. Hate that adding wonton is literally $1 per piece and it's so tiny. 11. HK Milk Tea - Reasonable, but not very flavorful.. 12. Lemon Tea - Decent, probably our go to drink 13. Assam Milk Tea with Cheese Foam - Not worth it. The service is pretty standard, limited due to language barrier at times.

Came here at 9:30pm on a Friday night. It's packed but didn't have to wait for a table…read more We ordered 3 main dishes and 2 dessert (fresh toast, and mochi waffle). A drink and a dessert which we did not.order came to our table by mistake. It seems like things are a bit chaotic since there were so many ppl dining in. Our fresh toast came out first , then a main dish (minced beef rice) then the waffle mochi. We had to wait for the other 2 main dishes for a long while. I think they shouldn't have served the dessert first or they could have asked us if we want them out together with our entree . Anyway, the service was ok. The place was very loud. We didn't enjoy it and wanted to leave. I think I will stick with coming in the afternoon instead of night time.

The waitress was very friendly and food came out really quick. My family were only there for about 30 min including ordering, waiting for food, and eating. They also have hawaiian food that looked really good too.

Don't expect tons of seating, and it might not be ideal for a huge group, but there's plenty of parking and the service is excellent. Friendly, quick, and on point. Now let's talk food. Popcorn Chicken - Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly salty. Dangerous in the best way. I could've ordered a second round and called it a day. Won Ton Soup - Different from the usual won ton soup I've had. The broth had a slightly creamy vibe, and it was loaded with dumplings and chicken. Not my favorite dish of the night, but still solid. Hawaiian Platter (three meats + mac salad) - The meats were tender and flavorful, and that mac salad? Delish. Simple, comforting, done right. Kimchi Beef Sizzling Rice Plate (with fried egg + garlic butter) - Ohhhhh the garlic butter!!! This was the MVP. Came out sizzling hot, smelled amazing, and absolutely popped with flavor. Hearty, bold, and just flat-out delicious. Total home run. Bottom line: Great service. Sizzling plates. Full belly. Happy customer. Do yourself a favor -- swing by and support this local spot. You won't leave hungry.

I want to try the other sushi they had to order! But unfortunately they were sold out of majority of items.
